I watched Zeta for the first time this year and I still cannot believe how much Women is in that show. Like if you tried to explain it in plain english it feels like a joke you'd make about anime in the 80s trying to speak on Gender. Garth Marengi's Mobile Suit Gundam.

We gotta remember that 79 was incredibly well liked by women at the time for how progressive it was and yaoi yeah we slap mirai around every other scene but we let her pilot the ship the show was only able to come back thanks to those women so they probably wanted to try to appeal to them more

it was still written by a bunch of japanese men in the 80s tho so it has its "quirks" Tomino had that "I'm just an autistic child" despite not actually knowing what autism was homie was taking long shots blindfolded but his heart was mostly in the right place and you can feel that fuck reccoa tho

Nothing has ever been sexist in quite the specific way gundam zeta is.

but also so proud of itself? Like it ends with the power of Women uniting to support Kamille, the boy with a girl's name? it is BIZARRE
